“My mother gave me a guitar when I broke my leg in 7th grade. It was a very serious break requiring 2 surgeries, and inflicting psychological trauma to an active 11 year old. I was told I may not run again. Over the months of video games depression and sleeping on the couch I began to form a relationship with the guitar. Rachety and slow learning as I was, the steel strings twangy sound and deep vibration spoke something my thoughts or words could not pronounce. The music could touch and infiniteness that eclipsed my physical body and transcend my broken bones. As if a note plucked would vibrate forever and exist permanently as it traveled through space. I have never left it’s side since.

With time I learned to see music as medicine. Medicine that could heal deeper than the hospital, deeper than a prescription, deeper than my cells. Medicine music comes from the source of our creation. We are reminded when we hear it of our true nature. A nonjudgmental message that’s been spoken to us before, that we can hear whenever we choose to tap in. Medicine music is our birth song. Allow me to share my healing through sound with you, may the musical vibration bring each of us to it’s place of infinity.”

“My goal with reading tarot cards is to uplift individuals. Based on the vibes of the client (body language, vocal expression & communication style, physical complexion, other mannerisms) and the vibes of the cards (images, colors, numerology, and archetypical meanings), I tune into the inherent light in someone, and turn it up!

We are all enlightened Buddhas from the start: We are spirits using our human bodies as vehicles to navigate the earth, and uplift this planet, in a very hands-on and personal matter. Any negativity we experience is in order to welcome the vibrations into the kingdom of heaven — which can be found within. Every life occurence is a blessing.”
